This happened about 3 days ago.
Anyway while on my way to work, I was pulled over for 1 week expired registration (was unaware it had expired on me). Although I am younger I was dressed nicely in a collared shirt with Khaki pants as usual (so clean cut). I knew I had nothing in the vehicle and had never even smoked in the vehicle. The traffic stop went as follows.
Cop walks up to my window and asks for license and registration which I promptly provided. I asked what I had been pulled over for and was informed of the exp. registration. I was glad I wasn’t speeding and it was just a minor thing.
Police officer tells me it’ll be just a moment and walks back to his car.
He comes back hands me a warning and tells me I have 4 weeks to get it up to date and thanks me for my time. He takes a step away then turns around and says.
“I see you have a criminal record from when you were younger (no drug charges). You wouldn’t happen to have any weapons or drugs in the vehicle?”
To which I replied “no officer I do not”
He then says “so when is the last time you smoked dope”
I replied “I don’t appreciate that comment one bit because it implies I have used drugs before which I have not”
He says “I understand, so you don’t mind if I take a quick peek inside your truck”
I reply “no sir not without a warrant”
Cop whips open my door, pulls me out of the truck slams me to the ground and tells me I am being detained until a drug dog comes. 15 minutes pass with me laying in the snow freezing my ass off until he informs me the drug dog is unavailable and I am free to go.
So I know it would a been much easier just to let him search my truck when he asked but that just feels so un-american to not enact my rights.
So long story short what would you of done?
